5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Grisman, April 20, 2004

It's really a shame this album (and Quintet '80) is out of publication because in my opinion it's one of the greatest works produced by David Grisman. Cedar Hill and Fanny Hill are early bluegrass compositions of DG updated for dawg fans. Albuquerque Turkey is a great fiddle tune featuring Mark O'Connor's world class fiddling. Anouman is a Django Reinhardt composition performed as only Grisman could do. Japan is a slower piece featuring a japanese koto throughout. Mondo Mando, the title cut, is a captivating mini-symphony featuring the Kronos Quartet. This piece is classic David Grisman .... drawing from a number of musical genres in a style that can only be referred to as dawg music. And the album cover illustration by Wayne Anderson is unlike any other mandolin album design. Truly bizarre. If they ever release the album again every mandolin enthusaist should snag a copy. Highly recommended.
